.png "2 (2).png") Fern WicksonProfessor of Ocean Leadership at UiT She has specific expertise in the governance of socio-ecological and sociotechnical systems, as well as in practices of public engagement and knowledge coproduction. In this project , she will be mainly Exploring the interface between science, ethics and politics. Within this project, her primary focus will center on examining the intersection of science, ethics, and politics. Research interests: Sustainability, Transformative Change, Environmental Governance, Ecological Ethics |
 Ann Eileen LennertEnvironmental Anthropologist and Researcher at UiT She is dedicated to exploring human-nature interactions through interdisciplinary sciences, knowledge co-production, narrative cartography, visual storytelling, and art-based research. Throughout this project, she will spearhead co-creation workshops and nurture innovative spaces for creativity to flourish. Research interests: The beauty of human-nature interactions, co-creation and creative science |
 Margherita Paola PotoResearch Professor at UiT´s Faculty of Law She focuses her research and academic activities on internationally recognised research lines, transitioning from a unidisciplinary approach (law) to cross-disciplinary, co-created, and community-based research. Her contribution to this project will primarily relate to Ecological and Emotional Literacy, Ocean Governance, and the Decolonisation of Knowledge. Research interests: Climate Law, Indigenous Law, Emotional Literacy and Ocean Literacy |

The central aesthetic task of the project is to develop new ways to sense, understand and imagine the significance of extreme marine environments in the Arctic regions and beyond. As a mediator of visual theory and art history, he will have special responsibility for developing concepts, artworks and best practices with the participating artists and marine researchers. Research interests: Environmental aesthetics, Interdisciplinary collaboration, Cartographic methods of visualization |
.png "5 (2).png") Claudio ArgentinoMarine Geoscientist and Researcher at UiT In this project, his mission is to advance the research on extreme environments mainly using sedimentological and geochemical techniques, as well as passing on this specialized knowledge to a new generation of geoscientists. Research interests: Sediment biogeochemistry, pore fluid geochemistry, extreme environments |
 Ines Barrenechea AngelesMarine Geoscientist and Researcher at UiT In this project, she will characterize extreme environments by analyzing sediments and examining the organisms found there. Her main tools are environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques, which allow her to detect and identify organisms present in these environments, and microscopy. This combined approach will enable to better understand the diversity of life in extreme conditions. Research interests: eDNA, sedaDNA, foraminifera, deep-sea |
 Filip MaricAssistant Professor in Physiotherapy at UiT Filip's research focusses on the intersections of health, environment and society, in thinking with planetary health, sustainability, and the environmental humanities. In the Extremes project, he will contribute to exploring the relationship between extreme environments, health, ethics, and how philosophy and speculative methods might point to new scientific and political approaches to extreme environments. Research interests: Planetary Health, EcoHealth, One Health, sustainable healthcare, environmental physiotherapy Researcher page: https://en.uit.no/ansatte/person?p_document_id=706687
